3. Make it your earnest request to God that he will give you an heart to love him; *this is an acceptable request, sure, God will not deny it. When King Solomon asked wisdom of God, 1 Kings 3.9. Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart: Vers. 10. The speech pleased the Lord. So when thou criest to God, Lord, give me an heart to love thee, 'tis my grief I can love thee no more; O kindle this fire from Heaven upon the Altar of my heart; sure this prayer pleaseth the Lord, and he will pour of his Spirit upon thee, ⟨p. 134⟩whose golden Oil shall make the Lamp of thy Love burn bright.
